SOME BEAUTY HINTS Suggestions to Women About the Care of the Teeth and Lips. In one of the wittiest comedies that Dumas ever wrote he says: "No woman should over laugh; she may smile, because this gives hor mouth a most charming curve," but he persists in saying that when a woman laughs she makes herself look ridiculous. One may or may not agree with the clever Frenchman, but it is very certain that few women laugh well, and none should smile unless thoy can show whito teeth.

Who does not remember Thoo as La Jolie Par HOAR FOR SHERMAN. The Haasacliiuetts Senator Say He Is In Favor of the Ohio Man. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE TIMES. Times Office, Corcoran Building, Washington, June 3. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, who Is now prominently talked of by tbe Republican Convention managers as obalrman of tbe gathering at Chicago on June IB, has been quoted as being In favor of tbe nomination ot Senator Sherman and tben again as supporting Judge Ureshnm.

When spoken toon the subject to duy he said: "Yes, I have been vurlously quoted on the subject of candidates, whloh would Indicate that my opinions are not settled. I bave no objection to stating my position. Senator Sherman's friends came to me early, and asked me to present bis name to tbe Republican convention as a candidate for nomination. I replied very promptly that I could not do so. If I bad tbe appointment of a President I would name Senator Sherman, as he Is our leader.

He Is able, and as well, If not better, equipped for tbe plaoe than anybody ou our list I did not decline to name him because I was not friendly, but said at the time that I would be obliged to follow the wishes of the Massachusetts delegation; tbat as they had not yet determined whom they would support It would be Inappropriate for me to say anything, particularly as It might look like committing tbe delegation In advance," Tbe Senator continued: "If I had consented, and wben we met together I bad found tbat the delegation was opposed to blmordtvlded.lt would have placed Sherman and myself In an embarrassing position. "I have maintained from tbe beginning that It would be better to go to Chicago and confer with the leaders and delegates of relations. There aro Americans, however, who are further advanced in swelldom thuu tho American officials, aud might help them Instead of being helped. Among these, for Instance, are the professional beauties from Boston and Cleveland, to whom, possibly, it is incorrect to assign these towns as residences, for they now seem to be identified with England and the group which sur ruunus me prince or wales.

Y. Herald. London, June 2. This has been a grand yachting as well as a racing and musical week. Tbe sensation was the trial from Hnrwlck to South End and return of tbe new yachts Petronilla, belonging to Lord Dunraven, and Yarana, belonging to Paul Ralll, who lately owned tbe Cambria, as against the Irex.

In tbe first race Irex won, Yarana was sec ond and Petronilla third, with five minutes between the last two. In the second race Yarana won, with Petronilla second, with the same difference between these as before, and Irex lourtb. Commenting on these races, to day's Field observes: "In Farana Mr. Watson appears to bave hit oft tbe sort of craft for a new rule to perfection, and she looks like a winner all over. It will be interesting to watch her In the contest with tbe Petronilla Tbe Petronilla has gone to Watklns to bave ber Bpars lightened, and will again try conclusions with tbe Yarana In a match on the Royal Thames next Monday, but we are afraid tbe reduotlon In top weight will not make ber the match for the Clyde craft Tbls Is much to be regretted, as we were all boning to see a seUto in a series of brilliant matches between tbe Petrooilla and the Yarana, wltb the wind np or down.

The Thames Is a very fine piece ol water for a heat to windward, and men who have done notbiog but talk of two new sixties for the last three months In the metropolitan clubs will be sadly disap pointed If the Petronilla never once gets between the wind and tbe Yarana."

The Democrat io Convention.

The announcement that Judge Thurman will accept the Domocratio nomination for Vice President leaves the work of the St. Louis Convention practically done in ad vance of its meeting. There will bo a few contested scats to be disposed of and a platform to be adopted, but so far as the candt dates are concerned they have been already selected. It will not bo the first time that a National Convention found its real work done before its members assembled. But, except in the case of the second nomination of Lincoln, wheu the exigencies of a great civil war pointed to tho folly of swapping horses while crossing a dangerous stream, cut and dried nominations have been the work of the poll ticians and not of the rank and file of the parties in whoso names they were made.

It is in this important particular that the expected action of the coming Democratic Convention will differ from that of former conventions of this kind. There are many of tho party workers who have no affection for Cleveland and would very cheerfully help to nominate another candidate if they could. But the unmistakable sentiment of the party and the country has required the President's renomination as a matter of course, and there are many delegates now on their way to St Louis to vote for a candidate thoy would not have choson of their own accord. So of the nomination of Thurman for Vice President The minor Democratic politicians in various localities have discussed for weeks the availability of a dozen other candidates, not with any particular reference to their fitness for the place, but with a view to making the ticket strong in doubtful States. But the suggestion of Thurman's name has led to a spontaneous and overwhelming popular indorsement, in spite of the fact that he comes from a State that is surely Republican in a Presidential year, and the local candidates have nearly all dropped out of sight Unless thoy come to the surface again with their conflicting claims, the task of the convention will be plain and simple.

The Literature of Locality. In the current number of Book Nea the Rev. Washington Gladden suggests that the best summer reading is that which reflects the history, tradition and romance of the locality where the reader has determined to make his summer sojourn. It Is to be re gretted, however, that the list of books that he gives relating to particular localities is so inadequate as to fall short of a guide for any of the places he mentions. For the White Mountains he names Starr King's White Hills," Drake's "Heart of the White Mountains," and Hawthorne's sketch, "The Great Stone Face for the Maine coast, Miss Jew ett's Deephaven for Mackinaw, or North ern Michigan, Miss Woolson's "Anne," and for the Tennessee Mountains, Charles Egbert Craddock'a realistic stories.

To these it is easy to make additions, as for the Hud son, Irving; for Eastern and Central New York, Cooper; for Lake George and the St Lawrence, Parkman; for New England, Whittier and Longfellow, and for every locality the minor and forgotten singers and story tellers who have embalmed its legends in verse or tale. There is scarcely a locality anywhere that has not its literature. As a case in point take our own State. The Wyoming Valley is rich in traditions which are related not only in the sober histories of Stone and Peck, but in Campbell's poem, Gertrude of Wyoming," Mrs. Stephens' "Mary Der went" and in a hundred poems and tales by other writers.

Thomas Buchanan Read's Wagoner of the Alleghanies" wonld be a delightful book to a sojourner at Cresson. Nearly every connty has a county history and this will generally be found a gnide both to its traditions and its literature. Nothing is more interesting than to learn the legends and traditions of the locality one chooses for a summer home and generally the best place to obtain the literature relating to any particular locality is en the spot But It is not even necessary to go away for the summer to find interesting localities for special study. There is scarcely a hillock in Fairmonnt Park that is without its legend. How many of us know the history of Lemon Hill, Mount Pleasant of Solitude, of the Woodlands, of Tom Moore's cottage 1 To most of ns both the legends and the beauty of the Wlssahickon are unknown.

The rhymes of the Schuylkill would fill a volume. How many of us have read the story of the battles of Brandywine and German town, or of tho winter camp at Valley Forge since our schoolboy days, and of those who have bow many have studied the story on the ground There is a literature of legend and tradition all ronnd ns that would make our summer outings delightful if we cared to study it Unfortunately, most of us care only for the literary sensation of the hour, and such can not be the literature of locali ties. French Earnestness About Trifles. In the old' days of kings and of powers that represented only the will of kings, it was natural that the nations of Europe should go to war about trifles. But France has no king now and royalty in England is only a name.

It is, therefore, surprising that of all the nations of Europe, these two should be found maintaining the traditional policy of threatening each other about trifles. The dispute about Maitre Island means nothing. At most it is only intended to keep np the farce of statesmanship. But there ia danger in it as there always Is in making a great noise about nothing. To France the perpetuity of the Republic li more important than a thousand Maitre Islands, and, conse quently, it is to the interest of France to avoid disputes, except those that are unavoidable and relate to subjects of the greatest Importance.

There is evidently a disposition among the great powers to regard France as a firebrand. Apparently there is some truth in the accusation. The longings for the recon qnest of Alsace Lorraine have long been a menace to Germany. The coquettings with Russia have only been Intended to anuoy. The defense not defiance interpretation of M.

Goblet's speech in reply to Herr Tisza seems a little too fervent. Almost daily France comes out with a chip on her bonnet, asking somebody to knock it off. All this may be very amusing, but it is not good policy and none of the powers, noteven England, seems afraid to topple over the chip. France as a republic ought to learn that republics are most of all concerned with affairs at home. It is the disposition to go outside of this sphere and engage in the trifling of European diplomacy that makes Boulangers possible and endangers the republic If the republic is destroyed it will be because Frenchmen are very earnest over some trifle that does not concern them.

No om will be surprised at the failure of the Jury to convict Kerr, the colleague of Jacob Sharp in the business of bribing New York Aldermen to secure valuable street railway franchises. This feeling In the public mind is not born of a conviction that Korr is innocent On the contrary, it would be hard to find a woll informed citizen of Now York who docs not believe him guilty. But present methods of selecting Juries In New York leave those most competent to sift and weigh testimony oat of lory box, and It tonst be a cage the most plainly nroved guilt that does nNt And a few obstl probably contributed to the Kerr disagree ment is the general demoralization on the subject of public franchises. There are thousands of men who do not regard it as a crime to secure a business advantage by bribery and who do not hesitate to declare that if they were given the opportunity that came to Sharp and Kerr they would follow the Sharp and Kerr example. Every public spirited citizen must deplore this laxity of sentiment, but that it exists cannot be denied.

Kerr was compelled to re new his bail for another trial, but there is no probability that he will be convicted and very little that any of the untried ex Aldermen will ever see the Inside of a prison. The force of the New York boodle prosecutions is probably spent Senator Hoar has declared in favor of Sherman for President. This seems to be the most staggering blow Sherman has yet received. The plentiful crop of boodlers which the United States have with liberal hand sown in Canada appears to have taken root and to be producing native boodlers. Cer tain officials of Toronto, the capital city of the Dominion, are now on trial for their alleged agency in the disappearance of $100,000 of the funds of the public.

It is needless to say in this connection that what has happened in Toronto can hardly be called the unexpected. Boodlers, like other ill weeds, may be expected to spread when they fall on soil that possesses the least pretense to fertility. That Canada, when sown thickly with the boodlers of a neighboring country, must soon grow a crop of its own was not what any level beaded Dominion statesman should have expected. The only way left for Canada is to root out its new crop and put up extradition bars against foreign importations of tho boodle product as quickly as possioie. The red bandanna is likely to become a campaign banner once more.

The report that the Knights of Labor in Chicago and vicinity are leaving the order In such numbers as to threaten its entire disintegration can well be believed. In no other locality has the organization fallen so completely under the leadership of men of Socialistic tendencies, who, while denounc ing the tyranny of capital, have established a tyranny in the administration of the af fairs of their own society that is unbearable. Until the control of the organization in Chi cago falls into the hands of men who recognize the American principle of live and let live its affairs will be in a bad way. The sooner the Knights of Labor unload their un American leaders and professional agitators, not only in Chicago but elsewhere, the sooner they will get on a sound basis.

Mr. Huntington finds times are chang ing, tie recently undertook a stock water ing job in a Kentucky short line, when a Kentucky Judge happened along and or dered the California stock waterer into court. Mr. Huntington sought refuge in another State and now pleads the prejudice of the Judge as his defense against being found in contempt of court.

In the meantime the conrt has placed Mr. Huntington's Kentucky property in the hands of a receiver until Mr. Huntington appears and purges himself of contempt It is evident that Mr. Huntington has found a type of Judge in Kentucky he has never met before. Perhaps if he had met this kind of Judge earlier he wonld not be resisting the payment of his just debts to the United States now.

BY TEE WAY. A New York delegation to the St Louis Convention took with tbem among other things ten eases Piper Heldslck, ten eases Yellow Label, two barrels Dog's Head Bass' ale, three barrels Milwaukee lager beer In bottles, two oases Apolllnarls water, ten gallons Old Crow whisky, ten gallons Cognao brandy, Ave gallons Scbeldam schnapps and one case of Angostura Bitters.

A Distinguished Party Invades the Great Wine Vaults of New Jersey. Egg Harbor had a big day yesterday. The vineyards and wine vaults of the pretty city in the pines of South Jersey were invaded by a party of distinguished men of New Jersey and Pennsylvania who traveled down to inspect the vintage of Jersey's famous wine growing district. The invaders were tbe guests of D. M.

Zimmerman, the genial secretary of the Camden and Atlantio Railroad Company, and it was a Jolly party that boarded the special train In Camden just after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Ex Senator Sewell was one of the party, and among the others were President Snow den, of the Haddonfiold Water Works Company; John Lucas, Joel Cook, John A. Johano, Professor W. S. Atkinson, of the Mcdico Cbiriirgical College; Colonel M.

G. Masins, Charles A. Booke, A. C. Moronus.

Carl Voelker anil William Mueller. INSPKCTINO THE VAULTS. The visitors were first led through the mysteries of the wine vaults of Mr. Bannihr, 1 4 year old, white bearded, good Iook jug man, who married only three years ago. There were gallons of whito and red wines of fine varieties in the vault which has a canacitv of 50.000 gallouB.

The old wine grower makes 'the best claret in this country and he had a big lunch spread at the head of the vault on the first floor and a large quantity of the red wine was sampled by the visitors. secretary Zimmerman guests were then driven to the wine vaults of Jobn Schuster, who bad 23.000 gallons of wine stored away, most of which was intended for use on the altars of tbe Catholic churches. While the visitors were drinking to the health of Schuster there was a lively and humorous dialogue between the wine maker and John Lucas, in which Colonel Muckle took an important part Ten thousand gallons of fine wtne were fonnd in tbe cellars of August Hiel, over in Mullica township, and when everybody had been introduced to the seductive qualities of Mr, Hiel's vintage the visitors were driven to the vineyard of Julian Hienkle, near by. Mr. Hienkle, a cultured German gentleman, took the strangers down into his vaults of 50,000 gallons of wine, and when his 29 year old vintage had been tested he led the way to a banquet table on the top floor of the vault SPEECHES FBOM THE QUESTS.

Secretary Zimmerman presided, and in a graceful speech introduced Ex United States Senator Sewell, who was received with generous applause. The General pictured, in an eloquent way, how the barren waste had been turned into fruitful vineyards. He applauded the virtuous use of the grape for medicinal purposes. Cries for Joel Cook brought him to his feet and he made a pithy and clever speech, and then Port Warden Tucker mingled the harmony of 1 Gallants of England with the red juice of the grape. Captain White touched upon the improve ment of the Delaware channel and said that as over 4,000 bars had been removed in the city be saw nothing to stop the removal of the big bars in the river.

Dr. Atkinson in a neat little speech spoke for pure wine, and tben Secretary Zimmerman made another witty address. Before leaving a toast was drunk to tbe health of Mrs. Hunke, and then the host and guests returned to the pit of the vault where glasses were filled again, while Mr. Hienke sang in a sweet voice his own original song telling of the virtues of the grape.

When Mr. Tucker had filled the vault with the melody of a German vineyard song tbe invadors were driven to the vineyard of L. N. Renault where thousands of gallons of champagne wore stored. Proprietor Renault had a big banquet table spread in the cool breeze under the trees near the vault where eloquent speeches, telling of the progress in wine making in South Jersey, were made by Colonel Muckle John Lucas, Mr.

Zimmerman and Mr. Sailerand after the health of Mrs. Renault had been drunk the visitors were driven back to Egg Harbor, but it was after sunset before the special train was speeding back to Camden. BOBBY NEWCOMB DEAD. Bis Body to Be Brought to Thia City for Burial.

Astor was a fair Minister at Rome. The social side of his mission especially met with general approval. He lived in affluence and was ceremonious to a degree in all the points of etiquette. In a word, he was familiar with all the requirements of form applying to his social and official position, in which American representatives sometimes fall short. In contrast with Mr.

Astor, is tbe present Minister Judge Stallo, who, whatever his ability may bo, is not well acquainted with what was so familiar to the New Yorker. In a word, Mr. Stallo is regarded by his colleagues as rather eccentric and unaccustomed to the usages which prevail in diplomatic circles. Mr. Dougherty, a son of "the silver tongued," of Philadelphia, is the Secretary of Legation in Rome.

This doubtless is tho reward for the speeches delivered during the Cleveland campaign bv tbe famous orator. and is in accordance with political tradition. In other words, Mr. Dougherty did not work ior tne Koy ue i'russo. The Legation is midway between tho Quirlnal and tho Vatican figuratively, it ought to be in the same situ ation, as one member of the Legation, Mr.

uougnerty, belongs to the Church of Rome, tie is said to be an exemplary secretary. There is an American colony in Home, some of whose members, having become Italians through marriage, are not under the protection of the American Minister. Mr. Stallo is not identified with the social move ment and probably, from his point of view, would not if he could be. He represents Cincinnati of the great West and brings new ideas and perhaps now strength to ,1 decadent town of a crumbling past.

In some respects he probably entertains the views of Taine' Monsieur Graindorge, who, after retiring from the business of nork nacking in Cincin nati, fnrnished his countrymen in France with his notions concerning the futility of me ornamental and tbe utility of the practical notions, moreover, which are charac terized by much good sense. The position which Mr. Stallo assumes, if report be true, is that his diplomatic duties are confined to those of an agent between two governments and do not extend to in dividuals as represented by his countrymen sojourning abroad. This opinion has been shared by some other American representa tives of the duties of the American Minister. Tbe functions strictly official are so light that the diplomat would have little to do if he did not attend to what are considered his social duties.

A personal experience of the writer strengthens this opinion. While he was Charge d' Affaires at The Hague it was as mnch as he could do to find material for two communications a month to the Department of State that is, material of a kind likely to interest the united states. Thus, if he bad confined his duties to writing official notes, most ot his time would have been unem ployed. Outside of his own State few people knew of Mr. Phelps before he was selected for the mission to England by President Cleveland, and subsequent events have shown the choice to be a good one, however much it may have displeased some ot the chieftains of the Democratic party.

Thus Mr. Phelps suddenly emerged from tbe twilight of his native State into the noonday ot nationality in being invested with tbat title of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. which is something bursting to the ear of tbe simple Democrat and which is as littlo accord with Republican institutions as a Mexican bull fighter in his guttering ac coutrements Is with a simple cavalry officer ot tne united states. A popularity acquired in Washington, or in the home district in the endeavor to obtain votes, is not usually retained in London when the subject thereof is sent as American Minister. The conditions are different In Washington, the doors of those in political life are opened to almost every one who chooses to enter them.

A political chieftain would not dare to close them against the humblest and possibly tbe most disreputable of his constituency, the fiction of equality is generally maintained and there is a remark able expansion in aH political relations. This extends as well to the social status, for the wile of tbe politician is expected to receive and does receive the wives and daughters of her husband's electors, whoever they may be. The President himself sets the ex ample in receiving everybody who desires to call on him, hence the promiscuous masses which surge through the White House on reception days, and with which Americans generally are familiar. There is thus connected with the idea of official duty an open house business, which the politician appointed to be Minister carries with him to England. There the system of exclusiveness prevails, the reverse of that which exists in Washington, and the Ameri can.

Minister, accustomed as a politician to shake bands with every one, even with all trie Bardolphs and Pistols who frequent the taverns of his neighborhood, finds himself in a country where it is the custom to be reserved, especially for those in official station. The minister and ex politician finds himself the peer of groat noblomen and the recipient of hospitality, stately and magnificent extended to him by the reigning classos of Great Britain. Exclusiveness everywhere; and meanwhile his fellow citizens from America, dwelling in London and arriving by every steamer on pleasure bent repair to the Legation and expect to be treated in the way tbat public servants treat them in Washington. The custom of British exclusiveness insensibly grows on the American Minister. aud be begins to draw the lines on his own countrymen, and to find it unworthy of the Plenipotentiary Minister of a powerful nation to receive every one who knocks at his door, and wben it comes to presentations at conrt he becomes fastidious.

If the refusal to receive, to entertain, and to present at court, is joined to a cold, reserved manner, dissatisfaction is naturally engendered among most of the Americans who approach the Legation, and tbat which tbe American Minister prized at home, popularity, and was the political capital on which he traded. is withdrawn from him in London. It is proper to add that these observations do not apply any more to Mr. Phelps than to his predecessors. It is probable that James Russell Lowell encountered more of tbe dis satisfaction described than does the present Minister, owing to bis reserved nature, for Mr.

Lowell was hardly popular with Americans, whatever he may bave been, with Englishmen. There have been other American Ministers to Great Britain who bave met with the same experience. Whatever foundation of faot there may be for tbe statement concerning Mr. Lowell's reserve toward he was unquestionably much liked by tbe English, not so much, perhaps, on diplomatio as on literary grounds. On the anniversary ot tbe nation's Decla ration of Independence and of tbe birth of Washington tbe Fourth of July and tbe twenty second of February it is necessary to be providod with an invitation to be re ceived by Mr, Phelps, for which, he has been subjected to some criticism, but there is a reason for the courso which he pursuos in this.

When the doors, some time ago, were thrown open to all Indiscriminately the drawing room was invaded by English roughs, attracted by the table of the dining room, provided witn meat and drink. Ob serving the inconvenience, not to say dan ger, of such promiscuous gatherings, Mr, Phelps decided to restrict the throng to an orderly sot of people of whom he know some thing, indeed, more was no other course for the Minister to pursue. It is said that the call or card of any honest American ensures an invitation to the house of tbe present Minister for the national holidays. It is probable that a restrictive measure of this kind, in course of time, will be inaugurated In tho White House then dissatisfied Americans in London who cite the example of the President of tbe United States, in favor of tbs open house system, will bave tboir principal prop taken from them. The social relations, which grow out of the official ones, of the members of the Legation In London, are among the governing classes.

Tho Prohibition Candidate. The politicians who assume that the rjorul nation of General Clinton B. Fisk for Presi dent by the Prohibitionists Is not to be counted as a factor in the national battle of 1888, greatly underestimate both the man and his cause.

The large increase of tho Prohibition voto in 1884, and its defeat of Blaine in New York, should teach political leaders that the same cause with the strongest candidate it has over presented is certain to play an fan portant part in tho contest of 1888. It is assuuiod by many politicians that the advent of high license in most of the States will greatly diminish the Prohibition vote this year; but if the election of General Fisk to the Presidency was as certain as he is to receive the largest popular vote ever cast for a Prohibition candidate, he would snrely be tho successor of President Cleveland. The Prohibition movement is not ono that can decline when its efforts are steadily exhibiting rapid progress in every section of the Union, and everything now points to a greatly increased voto for tho candidate of that party. It must be remembered that there is now a severe strain upon tho old parties from the growing independence of votors and the logically increased dissatisfaction with party control, and such votors often fall in with third partios. Fully one third of the Prohibition voto cast in New York in 1884 was the creation of Republican dissatisfaction with Blaiue, and the same cause will more or less affect both parties this year.

Independence in voting is more general among the most intelligent and npright citizens, and they, as a rule, readily incline to accept any moral sentiment that gives them a bridge to make a temporary retreat from the old party camps. There are certainly many more disgruntled Republicans this year than there were in 1884, and it goes without saying that there are more disgruntled Democrats because of disappointments. General Fisk is vastly the strongest candidate ever nominated by a third party for President since the Van Buren political side show of 1848. He was one of the most gal lant of our soldiers is practically the foun der of the Fisk University at Nashville whereby he opened wide the doors for col ored education in the South; is a leading man in the Methodist Church and among the foremost in all its religious and benevolent efforts, and is a man of large general business experience and distinguished busi ness success. He is quite as sincere, earnest and able as St.

John, who led the party in 1884, without St. John's sloppy zeal that often splashed back upon himself, and he may as well be acknowledged at once as a very important factor in the great battle of 1888. The Old Fashloned Fourth. The People's Fourth of July in Philadel phia has come to stay. The successful celebration of last year is to be repeated with even more enthusiasm.

The citizens' committee have prepared already a most attractive programme, and everybody who can read and those whose friends can read for them know what is to take place on that day and are planning how to get the benefit of as many us possible of the attractive exercises that will be providod. And now let the response be as liberal and as prompt as it was when The Times first started the project a year ago. The Fourth of July is everybody's holiday. Working men and millionaires, babies and grandfathers, native born and naturalized citizens, as well as the strangers within our gates, are interested in the celebration of Independence Day. It is the most universal of all the American holidays.

As people appreciate most that which costs them something, everybody should secure a share in the coming Fourth of July by contributing something towards it. The citizens' committee have asked for $30,000, and the greater tho number of givers represented in this sum the better they will be pleased and the bettor tho givers will appreciate the celebration. Let old and young, rich and poor, white and black, Christian and infidel, bring their dimes and dollars to assist In paying the expenses, in order that they may feel that it is to be in the truest and best Ben60, their Fourth of July. Summer Religion. By common consent the activities of the Church in the cities are either intermitted or abated during the heated term.

The pastors, after winter's toil, need rest, and their flocks at least as many of them as can afford the luxury betake themselves to rural retreat or sail to foreign lands, so that there seems so be a sort of a necessity that Sunday services should be reduced in anmber and their observance somewhat modified. It is clear that such arrangements call for considerable prudence and policy. To close bouses of worship altogether, unless for necessary repairs, does not appear to be exactly the right thing, as thus an unfavorable impression ia likely to be made on the public mind touching the great interest involved, besides the putting of the can't get away population to a serious disadvantage in carrying out their convictions of duty. Neither is it admirable to fill the temporarily vacant pulpit with unacceptable and inefficient supplies. Far wiser would it be to have some strong, Instructive and attractive preacher proclaim the truth, even if it should be to several contiguous and united congregations, in this way furnishing him with an encouraging audience and kindling the enthusiasm which is essential to the completeness of all publio assemblies.

By such a course the good cause would be propelled with success, and that depletion of churches averted which is so hard to overcome by the autumnal zeal of the guardians of the folds after their return to their routine of labor. One thing is certain that the summer vacation of pastor) and people Is not an actual loss to Christianity, at sortie good people seem to fear it Is. Pastoral life is, in all respects, an irksome and exhausting one, and requires intervals of travel and repose to give it permanent freshness and force. The regular visitors to the sanctuary, also, need recreation, change of scenery and new surroundings, for a time, that their drooping euergles maybe revived. Hence all reasonable people should be more than reconciled to the brief absence of their spiritual overseers and follow ohurch members.

Especially should this be so In remembrance of the fact that such absentees are legitimately supposed to carry with them the spirit of their profession, doing good as they have opportunity whenever they go, and thus making what might appear a local low to religion a general gain la, the grand remit. Many a spiritually del fumeuse and the perfectly exquisite way in which she could show her white, even, small toeth? Naturally, off the stage this would not be pretty, but still a glimpse of white teeth behind ruby lips is decidedly fotching. The Japanese women very complacently gild their teeth, the native East Indian paints tbem red, whilo in another Eastern country it would be very bad form indeed to appear without black teeth. American women, as a rule, have good teeth, but unfortunately, owing to the very hot and very cold liquids that they use, their teeth are weakened early in life. Almost the first law about keeping the teeth beautiful is that one should patronize a good dentist; good work Is always worth paying well for.

In shops, when you go to buy a toothbrush a bundle is handed to you and the shopman will guarantee that thoy are the stiffest to be found now they may do for tho woman whoso teeth are exceptionally strong and who has never suffered from tender lips or gums. When she is offered such a brush there is about as much sense in it as if she were given a curry comb. All advice to the contrary, the best brash to use is the one that suits your teeth usually too large a brush is chosen and the corners of the mouth are hurt. The average girl in brushing her teeth puts the upper and under sets closely together and brushes only in the centre This is all very well for a finishing polish, but before that she should take a small brush, give each row its proper attention and be certain that every particle of powder or paste is removed from between the teeth. If it is absolutely necessary that a pick must be used, let it be a very small quill one, or it is better still, if tbe work can be accomplished, with a thread of silk.

Wooden toothpicks are not advised, inasmuch as they are apt to break between the teeth and very often a great deal of difficulty follows in attempting to remove the bits. Gritty powder is not good it breaks the enamel and lodges between the teeth in a very unpleasant way. A powder recommended by physicians and very easily made is com posed of one part of precipitated chalk, one part of powdered castile soap, one part of powdered orris root A very good soap, and every woman ought to have a good soap, is just as good for the teeth as it is for the skin. The beauty of the teeth amounts to very little if they do not show from between lips in good condition; from strong medicine, from ill health or from severe colds the lips of a woman who has a sensitive skin are frequently 180 tender that absolute agony, for which little sympathy as a general thing is given, Is endured. When this is one's mis fortune get a small quantity of benzoated ointment of oxide of zinc and apply it to the tender spot When there are spots on the lips those that are at once painful and not pleasant to look at dabble them with a wash made of tepid water and milk.

Most women in making applications rub tbem in with all their strength and make the lips that much worse than they were. Now, when the lips are tender they really want to be dabbled, and dabbling means just taking a linen rag, wetting it with a liquid and resting it easily lor a minute or two on the parts that are suffering. If the gums, as frequently happens after illness, become very sore a gargle of myrrh in a little water is to be commended. and as this has a good, wholesome odor one need not mind using it A woman with every charm of an ancient or modern Venus ceases to be beautiful if, when she speaks, her breath is hot and feverish, or worse still, absolutely tainted. Nat urally she docs not know this, and it is only proper that somebody belonging to her should tell her.

If it comes from her teeth it is something very quickly remedied. If it comes from her digestion then it is her doctor's business to get her in good order, but very often in this country of invalid women it comes from the use of very strong medicines. Dr. Wilson advises for this the use of lemons, claiming that they are tbs most purifying of all fruits, and the aromatic odor produced by lemons rubbed on the teeth, gums and lips lasts longer than any other. For a feverish breath that results from the stomach a few drops of lime water nsed as a gargle, or better still, a half tea spoonful of bicarbonate of soda in a little water will have the desired effect Half the badly shaped mouths that are the sorrows of the young women of to day result from their being permitted when they were children to suck their fingers one of the prettiest women in town has coarse thick lips, that come from having been allowed when she was going to sleep to put ber thumb in her mouth; while another whose lips protrude in the centre and whose month is large blames her mother for allowing her to find consolation in her two fore fingers.

If persuasion will not break a child of this habit then stronger means should be resorted to and if necessary its hands should be tied together. Another very unfortunate habit among school girls and which results in thickening the lips and making them super sensitive is the continual biting of tbe lower lip. The entire shape of tbe face Is spoiled In this way, for when nature moulded it there was not the intention that the lower lip shonld be larger and a coarse look given to the face. Red lips are the announcement of good health and good health is tbe fashion women who have very determined wills frequently get Into the bad habit of drawing their lips together in a way they think expresses determination; the lips are very pliable and naturally assume the position which is oftonest given to them, so she who feels on pleasant terms with the world at large, who makes it a point only to say pleasant things, will have about ber mouth that something that the French call riante the look that tells of a laugh without the sound, and a smile that is not a smirk. With all his gallantry it took a Frenchman to say this: "To be beautiful a woman must not talk mnch or she will contract nor mouth in an unbecoming manner." Bab.

In an Interview to day Cbauacey M. DeDew said be knew notb lng of an organized effort of New York to nominate him for tbe Presidency. But you expect to receive tbe Republican nomination, don't you?" was asked. "I expect nothing," replied Mr. Depew.

"Iam not a candidate for tbe nomination, like many others, have taken no hand In politics, nor done anything but attend to my office duties." "Well, yon won't refuse the nomination If It is offered to you, will you?" was tbe next question. "Ah," replied Mr. Depew, "that Is a difter ent thing," but he neglected to say whether be would or not The papers also say that Judge Gresbam's name is mentioned for the vice Presidency," said tbe reporter, "and that the laboring class will not support you on account of your being a railroad president and a rich man?" "I am a railroad president but I am not a rich man by any means," replied Mr. Depew. "Any way, I am going to Chicago on Satur day on business, you understand, and I will see tbe Judge tben and see wblob of ns has tbe most money.

Tbls Is a busy time In politics, you know, and any number of names are mentioned. "The Democratic delegation have nothing to do, you see, as Mr. Cleveland nominates himself.

"Do you know of any conference to be held where your name will be brought up for norai ation "I do not," replied Mr.

Depew. "I am not a candidate for tbe nomination and bave never been one." Well, the idea Is that since Mr. Blaine withdrew you are the most promising candidate." said tbe reporter. Well," he replied, it may be so. I write no letters and say nothing." HALSTEAD OX DEPEW.

I don't know that the business men of New York who are for Mr. Depew know tbe feeling which prevails with the agriculturists or the West against railroad influences, but tbey must be considered.

No Hope of Selecting a Republican Candidate by Ballot. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE TIMES. Pittsburg, June 2. The dead look In the Twenty fourth Congressional Republican Convention was broken tbls morning, but no nomination was reached, and after eleven ballots, making one hundred and twelve taken, tbe conference adjourned until Tuesday, June 12. Tbe first ballot taken today was: Ray, Reld, 18; Cox, 10; Acheson, 10; Tbe next was: Cox, 10; Reld, Ray, 18; Acheson, 10.

After tbat the conferrees voted as previously ten for each of tbe four candidates. There Is a project on foot to bave tbe candidates meet and fix up matters. It Is evident from the feeling to day that It is im possible to come to any understanding. All tbe conferrees are pledged to their candidates for tbelr counties, and It Is highly Improbable that any break would be made until the candidates themselves consent to it. Several of tbe conferrees went to tbe candidates and informed tbem tbey would bave to fix matters up themselves or tbey would take np some new oandldate altogether.

Jobn Cox expressed himself as being willing to bave a conference with the other candidates to try and agree on some plan of ending the dead lock. Colonel Reld also said be was willing to meet the other candidates, and there Is a strong probability tbat a meeting will be beld next week. Farms Flooded With Oil. SPECIAL TELBORAM TO THE TIMES.

June 2. The pipe line belonging to tbe Standard Oil Company has burst on the lands ot Henry Sammls, In Vernon township, and did immense damage. Thousands of barrels of crude oil have spresd over the level fields In all directions, killing all growing crops and poisoning tbe land, rendering it useless for years to come. Large qnantlties are now pouring into tbe Walklll river, noted as one of tbe nest Ashing streams in tbe State, and bas already killed many fish, wltb the prospects tbat fishing will be destroyed lor years.
